Chapter 17!
Christina glanced over at Henry, "Looks like Daddy is here to save the day." She snorts.
"Dad! Leave! Its not safe for you here." Mark yells.
"Mark its okay." Henry runs at Christina and knocks her down.
Meanwhile Mark is laying on the ground, and Vicki comes to his side.
"Baby, are you okay?" She looks scared.
"Mum, I'm fine, just a scratch. He smiles and winces in pain.
"Im gunna get you outta here." She also winces in pain.
Mark's body has started to heal itself and he has regained some of his strength.
"Mum? What's wrong? It's the baby isn't it?" He starts to get up.
"Mark! I'm fine! Lets go…."
She kneels in a lot of pain. "Mark, oh no."
"Mom, stay here, I can't leave Dad. I will be back, I promise."
Mark leaves Vicki in the safe zone and goes to help his father. He sees them battling by the tree. His father notices him in the distance.
"Mark stay away!" He orders.
"No, were in this together." He replies.
Christina ignores Mark for the time being and focuses on Henry. She is oblivious to Mark collecting his backpack and the contents it has inside. He sticks the stake in his back pocket and approaches Christina.
She is enraged and lets go of Henry and lunges at him. He immediately grabs the stake and throws it at his father.
"Dad, catch!" he yells as Christina pins him to the ground.
Henry catches the stake and drives it into Christina's back through her heart.
She lets out a blood curdling scream, and her body explodes and disappears.
She's gone.
Henry goes to Mark, who is unconscious, but not for long.
He opens his eyes, "Dad, is she gone?"
"Yes Mark, she is no more. Where's Vicki?" he asks.
Mark gets up quicky. "Oh Mom, we have to go. She's in labor."
They both run to Vicki.
"Vicki hun, how are you?"
"How do you think I am!" She says sarcastically.
"Alright lets get you to the hospital."
"Yes, that's a good idea." She smiles.
They get Vicki to the hospital just in the nick of time, where she delivers a beautiful baby girl.
Mark and Henry are in the room with her after delivery.
"Hey mom, how are you now?" he joked.
"Much better. " She smiles. "Come see your little sister."
"What did you two end up picking for a name?" Mark asks.
"Madison Grace." Vicki replies as she hands her to Mark.
"He looks at his baby sister and smiles. " Mark and Maddie, I like it." He laughs.
"We do too." Henry says.
"So is Christina really gone forever, Dad?"
He nods, "Yes, a wooden stake through the heart is sure death for a vampire, she will never return."
